since he put foot on English soil have been

would not DO strange II they did. and therein
lies one OF his gront dangers. The day he sail
cd from Boston Col. Tom Delay. one OF Sulli-
livan's stanchest friends, said to me:
John has often been blamed for his
wildness and for disregarding his business
opportunities. but II those who condemn him
would reason q little think they would not DO

good deal In his time and wasted his money.
but there are dozens OF young fellows at Har.

and they have had rich fathers educated
mothers, elegant homes and social ties to
restrain them. John had mono OF these adj
vantages, and the men who have done the
most to lead him into the temptation OF drink
have been rich mems sons. the well-educated

There was truth is Delays remarks. though

There are more bowling swells In London than
anywhere else in tho world. and 1t looks OF
present as though they would do their best to
kill Boston's pride by kindness. IfJohn re-

Dom McCafrrey hates like fun to give up the
idea OF getting another chance at Pat Farrell,
but as It Is plainly evident that the latter hes
no intention OF meeting him on equitable
OF agreement at once to Peter Nolan. Peter by
the way, asks for no certainty or choice OF
battle ground. He Is willing, to take chances
anywhere. The inference Is plain no has con-
hdence In himself and means business. Ho
and McCaffrey ought to make "A lively GO.
Apropos OF Nolan. Mike Cleary. who has Just
returned from the West. COMPLAINS that Nolan
did not give him u chance while he Was In Gin
cinnati. He says he tried hard to got on with
Peter. but that tho latter paid no attention to
his challenge, but had his friends, tho report
ers. give him n whoopng up from. Ballyhu.
Mike says that, there are 1000, good American
dollars In Louisville for them for o six or eight
round 20 there. and he H. so anxious to get
crack at Peter that he will let the referee DO
CINCINNATI man and Potter name him.
